\"How<\/p>\n

You want your house to sell<\/a> fast. And you may be wondering how long the whole process is going to take. One way to get your answer? Work with a local real estate agent<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They have the expertise to tell you how quickly homes are selling<\/a> in your area and what\u2019s impacting timelines for other sellers. That way you have realistic expectations<\/a> and can work together to come up with a plan that\u2019s based on today\u2019s market.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a high-level overview of just one of the factors a great agent will walk you through \u2013 the supply of homes for sale<\/a> and how that impacts your process.<\/p>\n

The Growing Supply of Homes for Sale<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Over the past few months, the number of homes for sale has increased. This is good news when you move<\/a> because it means you\u2019ll have more options as you search for your next home. But it also means buyers have more to choose from, so if your house doesn\u2019t stand out \u2013 it may take a bit longer to sell<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Available inventory is made up of new listings (homes that were just put up for sale) and active listings (homes that were already on the market but haven\u2019t sold yet). And if you look at data from Realtor.com <\/em>you can see a good portion of the recent growth is from active listings that are sticking around (see the blue bars in the graph below<\/em>):<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How It\u2019s Impacting Listings Today<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Think of the homes on the market<\/a> like loaves of bread for sale in a bakery. When a fresh batch of bread is put out, everyone wants the newest and hottest one. But if a loaf sits there too long, it starts to get stale, and fewer people want to buy it.<\/p>\n

The same goes for homes. New listings are the freshest and most sought-after. But if a home isn\u2019t priced correctly<\/a>, doesn\u2019t show well<\/a>, or it doesn\u2019t have an effective sales or marketing strategy behind it, it can sit on the market and become less appealing to buyers over time.<\/p>\n

An Agent Will Help Your House Stand Out and Sell Quickly<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Timing is important to you. You want to get this done, fast. By leaning on a pro, they\u2019ll make sure your listing<\/a> is fresh and doesn\u2019t stick around long enough to go stale. As the National Association of Realtors<\/em> (NAR) explains<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/em>Home sellers without an agent are nearly twice as likely to say they didn\u2019t accept an offer for at least three months<\/em><\/strong>; 53% of sellers who used an agent say they accepted an offer within a month of listing their home.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Your agent<\/a> will factor the recent inventory growth into their plan<\/a> and create a customized selling strategy<\/a> for your house. The supply of homes for sale can vary a lot by area. So they\u2019ll do things like share their valuable insights into what\u2019s happening with supply in your market, help you price your home correctly, and create a marketing plan<\/a> that gets your home noticed.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let your listing get stale\u2014reach out to a real estate agent today to make sure your listing is fresh and appeals to buyers from the start. It makes a big difference. <\/p>\n

Bottom Line<\/h3>\n

If you want your house to sell fast, you need to work with a pro. Connect with a local agent, so you\u2019ve got someone who understands the current market trends and how to build a strategy around those factors, so your house is set up to sell quickly.<\/p>\n
